the orchid: poems to love yourself

A wonderful book with deep and meaningful poetry

From night-time anxieties to wistful ruminations on the desperate feeling of love, Kamilla builds a world, in which we can say “Hey, that’s how I feel too” and then be comforted when she gives us the wise words to summarise all. Her writing is tight and expertly created; The Moon sits beautifully as the first in a series of books and I don’t doubt they will make waves in the industry. And it cannot be glazed over that the illustrations seen in the book are also done by Kamilla; simplistic but stunning images that are a gorgeous accompaniment to the pieces they sit beside. She is a passionate and often optimistic writer, with a flair for the spiritual. The moon is best served with a tea or a hot chocolate in the middle of a silent evening under covers.

Beautiful books! Been trying to find contact details for seller about an unexplained error but unable to find these details

I wish this was a hard back book as I will read it over and over. Such incredible poems written from a point of depression but not gloomy just full of what we genuinely feel. Each line resonated with me. I also bought one for a friend.

This girl is just amazing. I came across K. Tolnoe on Instagram and I was instantly captivated by her poetry. I searched for books/poem collections online even before “The Moon” came out. I can read the book on different days, and the poems speak to me differently. Buy this as a treat for your soul, or gift it to someone else to cherish. ❤️

I follow this author on Instagram and once privately messaged her if she had a book which at the time she didn’t.. I suggested she should one day and months later on a book came out! Love it. I love cute little books, calming and easy to read.

my personal favourite! Kamilla has such a gift with words! can’t wait to read more from her!

I really liked the poetry in this book and I’d have given it 4 stars or maybe even five but the book quality lets it down. When it arrived the front cover page was all scuffed and scratched and the plastic already peeling off. Bit of a shame really.
